From a Boy to Man

When does time come when people started treating you as a man and not as a boy anymore. Does age matter? Completing 30 years makes you man? or after marriage? Since, I will be completing my 30 years in a month and few days, this question started knocking my mind. Most of us will say that age doesn't matter. You become man when you start handling greater responsibilities, take decisions, etc. I agree to that.

It is that time of your life when you realize that you are alone and you have to deal with the problems yourself. Family is there, but its you who need to take risks and trust your instincts.

We always want to remain as a boy but time will automatically shifts our personality from a boy to a man not because of age but with our traits. You don't realize when you start behaving like a man. So I guess the time has come for me to take few important decisions and handle greater responsibilities. Its only a coincidence that I am completing 30 years at the same time. Whatever I have learned till now, its time to implement that in my life. Though the learning is endless but the basic concepts of life has been learned.

Women's Rights

I sometimes feel that woman in this country (India) has been given some extra rights to which they take undue advantage. I am not completely against woman's rights because I have seen that earlier, women are always been degraded.

The one instance that I want to mention here is that, I go office in a pool cab. Four gents and three women. All four of us belong to same office i.e. my company and these three women (two in one office and one in some other). We have this cab and a driver. These two girls don't say anything about cab and seats. But this one girl who recently joined us wants always to sit in the front or middle seats. She don't want to sit at back. Her pick up is last from her house and her office. We occupy all the front and middle seats as we got picked early. But she says, that these (us) guys don't care or have respect for women. We all are paying for the cab and her pick up is last, so what can we do about it. We cant leave middle seats vacant and sit at the back and wait for this girl's pickup so that she can sit on those vacant seats.

Yesterday, I was at the Rohini (West) metro station. It was very crowded. There was huge line to get the tokens. I think there were 200-300 people in front of me in the line. Earlier, ladies were in the same line, then suddenly one woman guard came and told all the ladies to make a separate line and they will get the tokens first. Come on now, we are waiting for 1 hour to get the token and now these girls will get their tokens in seconds. I was literally very very tired. Some people who are accompanied with women told them to be in that line and collect those tokens. That makes sense but still woman has always been looked before man. Even on Delhi busses there are seats reserved for women. Now a days, we talk about that women are not behind men in any field but they still want that reservation everywhere.

See I don't have that male ego and I respect woman and also feel that somewhere these rights are absolutely necessary for them. But taking advantage of them is wrong.
